You are going to have to cut an opening in the exterior wall large enough for the door frame to fit in. The opening you cut on the inside will have to be large enough for you to install the necessary king and trimmer studs, and the header. If you can locate the door to use one existing stud as one king studs, you're time and money ahead.
